Driver taken to hospital after crash

Barrie Advance

BARRIE- A witness called 911 after a driver had run over a median, damaged a tree and a snow fence in front of City Hall at 3 a.m. Sunday.
The caller said the driver was out of his car, but was wobbly on his feet. Police believe the Alcona man was drunk as he had problems standing upright. He was taken to Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre due to his level of intoxication. The 45 year old was handed over to police, and he stayed at the Barrie station until sober. He has a February court date to answer to the charge of impaired driving.
